Definitions
- the commands could be transmitted to the local unit over land telephone lines.
- the database is built remotely and the guide itself is transmitted to the local unit.
- Each show title entry includes theme index ID and the text of the show title.
- a single show title entry will be referenced by many show lists for different channels, days, and times.
- all show lists reference a single show title entry in memory so that memory is efficiently used.
- Many show title entries have a long life because the show titles may be for series that are broadcast over long periods of time and may be referenced by many showlists since many shows are broadcast by multiple channels.
- the user interface and database engine provide screens to facilitate the ordering and selection of channels to be displayed in the guide.
- a link to the first channel in an ordered channel list is stored in memory. This link is utilized to access the channel table entry for the most favorite channel.
- the FAVORITE LINK in that channel is accessed and utilized to access the channel table entry for the next favorite channel and so on until a designated delimiter value, e.g., 0 ⁇ 00, indicates the end of the favorite channel list.
- the ad entries include the ad banner text, ad text,
